Friday, 3 January 20143 min read

While PGA Tour organisers gear up for the New Zealand Open from February 27 to March 2, Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa is sharpening its appeal to the fan base with a limited-time golf and spa package.

In the weeks leading up to and following the tournament, the resort, with 220 rooms and suites on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, will offer a special deal for a mid-week escape.

Designed for couples, the package includes:

Champagne on arrival, overnight accommodation in a Lakeview Room with buffet breakfast and one round of golf at Jack’s Point Golf Course

Also part of the package is eforea spa’s signature 90-minute full body repair treatment, 15% off additional spa treatments and late checkout based on availability

Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa is within a 15-minute drive to the two venues co-hosting the NZ Open tournament.

The Hills Golf Course is spread over 500 acres and marked with colossal sculptures – including 111 wolves from Chinese artist Liu Ruowang and Wellington-based Max Patte’s towering cast iron horses.

Even closer is Millbrook Resort, with three distinct 18-hole combinations.

Hilton is the nearest accommodation to Jack’s Point, another 18-hole course featuring tussock grasslands overlooking Lake Wakatipu and beneath the Remarkables mountain range.

"Queenstown has long been known as an adventure capital, but there’s a lot more here than just bungee jumping and jet boating," said Andrew Nisbet, general manager of Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa.

"The New Zealand Open gives us the chance to highlight the world-class courses that Queenstown offers, in some of the world’s most scenic surroundings."

The Golf Escape Package is priced at NZ$695 per night and is available Monday through Thursday. Visit www.queenstown.hilton.com.
